Reception

We Got This Covered gave the film four stars, with the consensus "Robert Longstreet delivers an excellent performance and helps carry The Missing Girl to a place where it's a pleasantly enjoyable character study."[2] Brian Tallerico of RogerEbert.com compared the film favorably to the 2001 film Ghost World and stated that it was "awkwardly stylized (sometimes too much), but the leads are always engaging, and the plot is unique and entertaining."[3]

gollark: calculator ideas:- hardware implementation of a JS engine- gravel/other stack language calculator- thermoelectricity powered calculator (cooler than solar)- binary lambda calculator (only three buttons needed!)- have some sort of symbolic algebra features for purposes- configurable arbitrary-complex-number bases- calculator with switch which enables modular arithmetic- xylochoron-style base infinity output- built-in paint program- virtual reality mode

gollark: Also, windows bad?

gollark: Just buy more brain cells.

gollark: Why NOT make a unary calculator, or a calculator which solves halting problems, or or one which only runs some sort of deranged LISP?

gollark: There are probably lots of ideas for calculators which haven't been explored much because they're "really stupid" or "mathematically impossible" or "against the laws of physics" or "entirely useless". NO MORE, I say.
